Why this delay?
My elder brother was a dedicated physician. Dr. Azizul Huq retired as Deputy Director of Sir Salimullah Medical Hospital in 1999. He applied for his pension the same year. He died in 2002. Neither pension nor his provident fund money he could enjoy during his lifetime. Five more years passed, his wife somehow drew G.P. fund money and 12 months pay after undue persuasion as well as paying enough bribe. She and her unemployed son are still awaiting for the pension money long overdue. Perhaps none in the health ministry reviews the pending pension cases even once in seven years. Dr. Azizul Huq died without pension. His widow a diabetic patient is languishing in poverty in these hard days waiting for her husband's pension. Corrupt officials are extracting money in every possible way. Is there none to look after these?
The ACC may find a classic case of systematic pension corruption only if they dig a little.
